Remote Head Exit Sign and Light Combos – Centralized Power, Extended Coverage
Remote head combo exit signs combine three key safety features into one scalable solution: illuminated EXIT signage, integrated emergency lamp heads, and extra battery capacity to power external remote emergency lights. These UL 924 listed units are ideal for stairwells, corridors, mechanical rooms, and larger facilities where distributed lighting is required.
Unlike standard exit sign combos, remote-capable models contain oversized Ni-Cd or lithium-ion batteries capable of powering both the onboard lights and multiple low-voltage remote lamp heads for at least 90 minutes. This design reduces the number of fixtures needed, simplifies inspection, and ensures code-compliant performance throughout the egress path.
Available in thermoplastic or steel housings, these units are offered in single- or double-face configurations with field-selectable chevrons and red or green LED EXIT legends. Most models include universal mounting kits for wall, ceiling, or end installation and feature dual-voltage (120/277 VAC) input. Self-testing diagnostics are available to automate monthly and annual function checks.
For outdoor use or industrial settings, remote-capable combos are available with wet-location ratings, sealed lamp heads, and weather-resistant enclosures. Whether you're designing for a warehouse, high-rise stairwell, or expansive facility, these units offer centralized battery control and streamlined egress coverage.
FAQs About Remote-Capable Exit Sign Combos
❓ What is a remote head exit sign combo?
It's a fixture that includes an EXIT sign, emergency lights, and a battery powerful enough to support external remote lamps in additional areas.
❓ How many remote heads can I add?
It depends on the battery’s wattage capacity. Most standard models support 2–4 LED heads, but always confirm the voltage and load compatibility.
❓ Are these combos suitable for outdoor use?
Yes—look for models with wet-location or NEMA 4X ratings for outdoor or washdown environments.
❓ Do they require special wiring?
Remote heads connect via low-voltage wiring. Ensure wiring matches the unit’s output voltage (typically 6V, 9.6V, or 12V).
❓ Why choose a remote-capable unit instead of multiple fixtures?
It reduces the number of batteries to maintain, lowers installation costs, and simplifies inspection—especially in large or multi-level buildings.
